To the Family of Sis. Bertha Williams

I share in your loss of a great soldier. May these Words share with you my feeling for having known my dear departed Friend.

She exemplified the true meaning of an Eastern Star and friend and reflected a Well-spent life. Now, she moves on to a glorious immortality. I was blessed to have spent this time with my Noble Friend and Eastern Star. She exemplified the true meaning of my Sisters keeper..

To the Family of Sis. Bertha Williams

I share in your loss of a great soldier. May these Words share with you my feeling for having known my dear departed Friend.

She exemplified the true meaning of an Eastern Star and friend and reflected a Well-spent life. Now, she moves on to a glorious immortality. I was blessed to have spent this time with my Noble Friend and Eastern Star. She exemplified the true meaning of my Sisters keeper..

She asked God to take away her pain. God said, no. It is not for me to take away, it's for you to give it up.

She asked God to grant her patience. God said, no. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.

She asked God to give her happiness. God said, no. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

She asked God to spare her pain. God said, no. Suffering draws her apart from worldly cares and brings her closer to him.

She asked God to make her spirit grow. God said, no. You must grow on your own, but he will prune her to make her fruitful.

She asked for all things that she might enjoy life. God said, no. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I met Sister Williams over 33 years ago and she took me under her wing and taught me a lot about being our Sisters keeper.. Sis. Williams was a very giving person...She gave me all my high degree regalia, she never asked me for but one thing and that was a white suit I had and she loved it. She was truly a special person...One thing, if she had something to tell you she was going to tell you not anyone else. Rest in Peace my dear Sister, you are F.A.T.A.L
